The somnambulent Amnesty International finally gets around to noticing that Hezbollah is a group of murderous barbarians with no respect for human life:
"The scale of Hizbollah's attacks on Israeli cities, towns and villages, the indiscriminate nature of the weapons used and statements from the leadership confirming their intent to target civilians make it all too clear that Hizbollah violated the laws of war," Amnesty's Secretary-General Irene Khan said.Of course, in the world Amnesty International lives in, Israel and Hizbollah are equally barbarous, making this statement seem like it's even-handed and rational:
"The fact that Israel has also committed serious violations in no way justifies violations by Hizbollah," she said in a statement. "Civilians must not be made to pay the price for unlawful conduct on either side."
